Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2018

The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2018 was an international, multidisciplinary
conference for
the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and
application of computational methods in problems of biological
significance. Papers and presentations were rigorously peer reviewed and were
published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2018 was held January
3-7, 2018 at the
Fairmont Orchid, Big Island of Hawaii.

PSB 2018 brought together top researchers from the US, the Asian
Pacific nations, and around the world to exchange research results and
address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB is a forum
for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces,
visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to
biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of
molecular biology.

The PSB has been designed to be responsive to the need for critical mass in
sub-disciplines within biocomputing. For that reason, it is the only
meeting whose sessions are defined dynamically each year in response to
specific proposals. PSB sessions are organized by leaders in the emerging
areas, and targeted to provide a forum for publication and discussion of
research in biocomputing's "hot topics." In this way, PSB provides an early
forum for serious examination of emerging methods and approaches in this
rapidly changing field.

PSB offered four three-hour workshop. The workshops were created
to provide an opportunity for a gathering that will not be based on peer-reviewed papers included in the proceedings book.
The workshops consisted of presentations by invited speakers. Abstract submissions for the workshops were evaluated by the
workshop co-chairs.
